Greetings everyone! I've been trying to look for colleges where the campus is a little more isolationist -- not too busy or hectic, you know? Any recommendations for most isolated college campuses?
Absolutely, there are several colleges that offer a more isolated or rural campus setting. Here are a few:
1. Middlebury College in Vermont: Housed within the beautiful Green Mountain region, the college offers a small-town feel with a lot of open, natural space nearby.
2. Dartmouth College in New Hampshire: The school is located in Hanover, a small town vibe with incredible views of the White Mountains. Its setting adds to the sense of community the college has built over the years.
3. Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado: Even though it is not technically isolated, it offers a peaceful setting with the Rocky Mountains at the doorstep, offering a sense of serene isolation.
4. Reed College in Portland, Oregon: Though it's located quite close to a city center, the college's campus itself is nestled aside a lake and a wooded canyon nature preserve, offering a bit of an oasis.
5. Sewanee: The University of the South in Tennessee: Sewanee boasts thousands of acres of pristine forests, providing students with a secluded and peaceful study environment.
6. St. Mary's College of Maryland: Their waterfront campus offers quite an idyllic setting with plenty of outdoor activities like sailing or kayaking to switch up the typical college routine.
Remember, every student's perception of "isolated" is different, and campus culture also plays a big role. While the college setting itself might be secluded, if the student body is very active and busy, it might not feel that way. So, make sure to not just look at the location, but also the student lifestyle at these universities while making your choice.
